Long time user but couldn't access my previous account so set up a new one to post.
Our house has been 'sold' 3 times in the past 6 months, but our buyers have pulled our after about 2 months having not really progressed with any actions and cite their own 'change in circumstances'. I genuinely believe (and of course I'm biased) that it isn't the house but the buyers are generally being a bit 'flaky'.
Each time we have sold with the same estate agent, and each time it goes to market we have had multiple viewings and accepted an offer within 1 week. The estate agent holds the market share in our area and this seems to back up that the house is on for the right price and 'attractive to buyers'
We've gone back to market for the fourth time, but I'm conscious the market is slower at this time of year. We aren't able to put a new listing on rightmove but have reactivated the existing listing from a couple of months ago, so appear a few pages down when looking at 'newest' listed.

Should we maybe look at going with a different estate agent this time to get a better listing on rightmove? And potentially better buyers?? Even though current EA has market share and has secured our previous buyers quickly.

Is there a way to ensure we don't land another flaky buyer? Or have we just been unlucky?
We have an offer on our dream home accepted and are ready to exchange (no chain involved), so gutted we are 6 months down the line and no closer, hoping our seller will hang on for a bit longer.
